This was a chili that I created for my husband and children. My children do not like the traditional red beef chili but love this. It is full of flavor and lots of vegetables and beans. You can use Ground Turkey as well as Chicken for an even lower calorie chili.
This recipe can be cut in half for a smaller amount. I make the whole batch and freeze individual containers for my husband to bring to work.
